摘要: The present invention relates to a Photoelastic Modulator (PEM), particularly to a novel polarized light modulator structure based on a photoelastic effect. The PEM, which controls driving voltages of two groups of piezoelectric actuators, is able to implement polarized light modulation having a relatively large optical path difference, and polarized light modulator having a fast modulation shaft moving circumferentially, and the PEM operates stably without a moving component. The present invention includes the piezoelectric actuators, a light pass crystal and a driver controller. Two light pass faces of the light pass crystal are parallel regular octagons directly facing each other, and identical rectangles are formed by side faces of the light pass crystal. The piezoelectric actuators are in soft connection with middle positions of the rectangles by connection rubber layers. The width directions of the piezoelectric actuators are consistent with the direction of the light pass thickness of the light pass crystal, and the widths are slightly larger than the light pass thickness. The piezoelectric actuators are connected with electric output ends on the driver controller by electric adapters. This aspect is mainly applied to PEMs.
